[ti:A Thousand Matches]

[al:]
[00:14.90]Lying on the mattress
[00:16.68]Cause my friend's crazy sister took my bed away
[00:22.23]Sleeping, she looked like an actress,
[00:24.26]A theory I didn't practice,
[00:26.19]I said "There's got to be a better way"
[00:29.81]She said: "You light a thousand matches
[00:31.97]When you finally set fire when you run away
[00:36.70]So why'd you go and do it
[00:39.78]When you knew that you would go and I would stay"
[00:43.42]
[00:45.33]I hit the wall in frustration,
[00:46.81]The conversation had been circling for days
[00:52.37]She said: "Don't take it out on him,
[00:54.85]For the wall has always been
[00:56.72]Supportive in the best of ways"
[01:01.20]
[01:01.46]We're laughing and crying like mad men dying in the snow
[01:07.54]For just one second it was funny that
[01:10.86]She would have to stay and I would go
[01:14.57]
[01:16.38]I said "I love you know I love you so,
[01:19.93]When you love someone
[01:21.82]Well you've got to let them know."
[01:23.97]And She said: "Nothing's changed I love you the same,
[01:27.88]but when you love someone sometimes
[01:29.83]you gotta let them go."
[01:42.52]
[01:44.12]She handed me a stone in the perfect shape of a heart
[01:51.92]She said: "I'm gonna take this home
[01:55.51]For I know you'll only lose it somewhere after dark
[02:01.36]'Cause some faces so terribly seem to lose everything you own."
[02:08.23]She didn't mean it how it sounded,
[02:11.06]What she meant was she would stay and I would go
[02:15.10]
[02:17.22]And I said: "I love you know I love you so,
[02:17.41]When you love someone
[02:22.36]Well you've got to let them know"
[02:24.37]She said: "Nothing's changed I love you the same,
[02:28.71]But when you love someone sometimes
[02:30.63]You gotta let them go"
[02:35.96]
[02:36.18]Sometimes you tear it all apart,
[02:39.82]To see the wood from the trees
[02:43.61]Sometimes you break your own heart
[02:47.81]To set yourself free
[02:53.26]
[03:02.86]I walked her to the station,
[03:06.14]Hesitation in our movements and our tongue
[03:12.15]Words finally left after realizing
[03:16.34]How uncomfortable they've grown
[03:21.74]What you want and what you need,
[03:24.10]Well they seldomly succeed to grow
[03:30.64]We reluctantly agreed that
[03:33.33]When you love someone,
[03:35.60]You've got to let them go
